ReFashion

Although it’s been silent for a bit, there’s been “Behind the Scenes” action taking place! I am so excited to share a new page on the website introducing the new ReFashion label. These will be limited edition garments made from recycled textiles. Read more below:

Transforming Resources into Limited Fashion Garments

Sources of Textiles

Instagram – announcements and news
Artisan Markets – limited markets during the year TBA

Create Your Own

Choose an Aletheia garment to go with the fabric you’ve been keeping in your cupboard to create a garment of your own!
Made-to-measure items created with your fabric selection

Keep a look out on Instagram and make sure you have joined the newsletter to know when the different garments become available or when markets will be happening! This is a bit of a moving target (as it depends on how much time I get between alteration jobs), but it rescues fibres from possible landfill and allows me creative license in my sewing–which I love!

What’s in a Dress?

Shopping ethically can be hard on the pocketbook. And though clothing is a necessity, we really don’t NEED more clothing…..it might be helpful to show you a bit about what goes into an Aletheia Apparel garment. In an attempt to be transparent, I will show you my Alex Dress make.

Thinking of spending for Christmas

Through the years, there have been many ways to think creatively about gifts. Whether it’s been making gifts, re-purposing presents, upcycling items, or just generally trying to think “outside the box” with possible ideas, try something different this year.
